Although Ronaldo, who played the whole game and performed well overall, only scored a penalty, he still won praise from the Spanish media after the game, and even the "World Sports Newspaper", which has always been ridiculed as Barcelona's "royal newspaper", also praised Ronaldo's performance very rarely.

Although the Argentine king won both the "World Footballer" and "Footballer of the Year" personal top personal honors at the age of 22, his stats at the time were excellent, but not to the extent of impressiveness.

Many football celebrities and professional media people believe that Messi must at least contribute 30 (goals) + 10 (assists) in the league to be worthy of his talent.

In fact, it is not that Messi himself is not working hard enough, and the Argentine king, who hardly has any lace news, is very dedicated to both training and games. The fundamental reason why he has not been able to contribute enough impressive statistics to the fans who love him is that he does not have a strong enough opponent to make him feel enough pressure.

It wasn't until the summer of 2009 that the Portuguese king Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid at a world record of 80 million pounds, which finally made Messi really feel the taste of "pressure" and gradually fully tapped his potential.

In Cristiano Ronaldo's first season in La Liga, Messi's league goals finally broke the 30 mark for the first time, and the two alternated between the two in the next two seasons to set new La Liga scoring records.

It was also after Ronaldo landed in La Liga that world football opened a new stage of the myth of "peerless double pride".

Although it cannot be said that it is difficult for Messi, who lacks pressure, to rise to a higher level and truly realize his talent, at least Ronaldo's joining Real Madrid has made Barcelona and Messi feel the crisis at the same time, but it has definitely given Messi more motivation to tap his potential.

Therefore, logically speaking, the pro-Barcelona and Messi as his own son "World Sport" should really express its heartfelt thanks to Ronaldo.

However, although "World Sports" is barely able to faithfully report on Ronaldo's games and daily life, it is often labeled as "selfish" and "arrogant" with negative energy.

Of course, "World Sports" also has a certain basis for Ronaldo's comments, after all, Ronaldo's high number of goals is based on a large number of shooting opportunities, and he does have a certain gap with Messi, who once dominated the two lists of goalscorers and assists, in terms of assist data.

But this time, "World Sports" used words unimaginable in the past such as "all-round" and "selfless" when evaluating Ronaldo.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo only scored a penalty and added a direct assist in the game, Real Madrid's other three goals were also planned by Ronaldo, so the Portuguese can definitely afford the rare evaluation of "World Sports".

…………

Although Diego Simeone rarely cares about the media coverage of himself and his team, he does occasionally care about the coverage of his rivals, especially before some key battles, and even buys a number of authoritative newspapers and magazines to get to know his competitors from the media's point of view.

After the 31st round of the league, the club staff put a number of newspapers such as "Marca" and "World Sport" on Simeone's desk.

After seeing the latest report on Ronaldo by "World Sports", Simeone, who was originally serious, frowned.

Although Atletico Madrid have won all of their last eight Madrid derbys, they have kept a clean sheet in all four of their previous meetings this season.

However, when Simeone came to the office in the morning to see the highlights of Real Madrid's match against Eibar, as well as the evaluation of Ronaldo in the Spanish media, he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: if Ronaldo puts the team's interests first in the game three days later as he did against Eibar, I am afraid that this time it will not be as easy to beat Real Madrid as it has been several times before.

In fact, the reason why Atletico Madrid has been able to crush the sworn enemies in the same city in the past two seasons is that in addition to the existence of Feng Quan, Ronaldo's excessive pursuit of personal data in the game and ignoring the overall interests of the team is also one of the important factors.

In many previous "Madrid derby" matches, Simeone's defensive strategy was to force the opponent to pass the ball to Ronaldo as much as possible, and then the defenders quickly formed a trap on Ronaldo. Since Ronaldo basically solves the battle by himself after getting the ball in the front court, especially near the penalty area, as long as he is allowed to shoot in extreme situations, it can greatly reduce Ronaldo's shooting success rate.

Now, if Ronaldo has always maintained a "team first" style of play, with Real Madrid's player configuration, then Atletico Madrid may need to take a lot of twists and turns to win.

…………

Although Diego Simeone made a very detailed arrangement for Ronaldo's defense before the game, after the game really started, Ronaldo, who continued to maintain a "team first" style of play, still caused a lot of headaches for the Argentine.

Just three minutes into the game, Cristiano Ronaldo did not rush to cut inside the middle after winning the ball on the left side of the front, but slowly advanced along the sideline.

When Mario Suarez in the middle moved closer to the wing and was ready to form a flank with Juanfran, Ronaldo played a wonderful wall-to-wall combination with Modric, who was picking up on the side, and successfully cut inside to the middle.

Immediately afterwards, just as Gabi was about to step forward to make up for the defense, Ronaldo and J. Rodriguez, who received in the middle, hit the wall and successfully hit the top of the penalty area.

In desperation, Miranda, who was originally responsible for keeping an eye on Benzema, had to gamble and give up her goal to stop Ronaldo from moving forward.

However, at the next moment when Miranda just started, Ronaldo sent a through ball to the right of the penalty spot about 3 meters.

At the next moment, Benzema, who was originally ambushed on the line of the big penalty area, quickly started to grab the ball and swept the ball to the post on the left side of the goal before Godin fell to the ground.

Just when thousands of Real Madrid fans in the stands were about to cheer for the first "derby goal" of the season, they saw goalkeeper Oblak swing the ball out of the bottom line with one hand at the moment when the football was about to roll across the goal line.

In the next corner kick attack, although Ronaldo, who was ambushed at the front point, failed to grab the first point, his involvement created space for Sergio Ramos, who was ambushed at the back point.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Oblak did not choose to attack rashly, but waited safely on the goal line, and finally managed to defuse Sergio Ramos's dangerous header with difficulty.

Although Oblak's wonderful performance kept Atletico Madrid's goal intact, it also made Diego Simeone on the sidelines break out in a cold sweat.
